Adorable capture! Nicely done! Welcome to ViewBug! Looking forward to seeing more:)

Amazing photo, welcome to ViewBug. Jill

Great capture, personally I'd be running in the opposite direction! He really looks as though he's charging at you with serious intent, despite being a baby still. You have a great eye for the right photo and really deserve the awards you are getting.

Practice for youngsters. They never follow thru. The trunk and foot raise simultaneously is normally the position they stop flipping the trunk telling you to leave. Ears open is also mocking in small and large elephants. Ears tuck in means business. Many incidents yearly of vehicle damage / overturned people getting too close. Redirect aggression is common so giving them space and respect is safety 101
